The Island has the International Cafe update. The IC has 24 hr good brewed coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loliola Posted July 6, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Island does not have IC; Coral does. http://www2.snapfish.com/snapfish/slideshow/AlbumID=4230192023/PictureID=161672820023/a=2520751023_2520751023/otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/ For some reason I cannot upload this file, so hopefully this snapfish link works. This is a photo of the Patisserie on Island; pretty much a regular bar with a coffee brewer and platters of pastry out front. You can see the bartender reaching for the coffee pot. I was down there 6:30-7ish every day and was able to get coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I did was to click on your link and then click on the photo and then do a copy and paste so you see the photo below. Easy to do. Tom:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted July 6, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 6, 2013 The deck plan for the Island Princess shows no International Cafe.The Island Princess is scheduled to be updated October 12, 2014 with the IC. There's a huge gap in the cruise schedule and her next cruise isn't scheduled until November 26, 2014 so it's likely she'll get not only the IC but a bunch of other features.

Hokiepackcruiser Posted July 7, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Can we buy a "coffee card" on the Island? On Crown last Fall we bought a card with like 15 "punches" for Lattes and with it they would give us plain coffee for free. Anything like this on Island?

You can preorder on the Princess site in the gift area if you wish $31. (they had quite a few interesting items there) Of course, you can buy on board as well.

IECalCruiser Posted July 7, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 7, 2013 When we were on the Island for our Panama Canal cruise this January the hours for the Patisserie were 6:00am to 11:00pm. Fresh brewed and specialty coffees were available by 6:30am at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.We had no problem having them fill the insulated coffee cups we bring on board. Have even been able to get just hot water for me to make my own tea.

If you have any punches remaining, bring the card with you. The punches do not expire. The unlimited brewed coffee/tea option does expire at the end of each cruise, but you can still get brewed coffee/tea by having them punch your card.

We where able to use our unused cards (punches left) for brewed coffee . Even one card that was marked for the Emerald was allowed for brew coffee.

sept10dsm Posted July 7, 2013 #23 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The older cards with remaining punches can be used for either brewed or speciality coffees but will be punched no matter what you get. That is the new policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted July 7, 2013 #24 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yes, and then check. Everyone makes a mistake. There is no IC according to the Princess website. If I am going to check the princess website, and accept that, then why ask here at all? But, you're right -- this case could have been a simple mistake. But, there are so many inaccurate, sweeping, pronouncements here that it is comical... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sept10dsm Posted July 8, 2013 #25 Share Posted July 8, 2013 There was conflicting information so one should be resourceful and check that's all. Yes, at times people that are behind a computer say things they may not otherwise say. Also, some are mistakes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
